2- MODAL VERBS.

SHOULD és un verb modal que utilitzem per a donar consell (ADVICE) i va seguit per un infinitiu. Ex:

 You should study     Deuries estudiar

Have a look at the following video and learn how to use SHOULD


http://youtu.be/TwVdMT3CGTU

Learn ALSO the following expressions:

       What's the matter?   Qué passa?

        Are you all right?     Estàs bé?

   
-From minute 5 they will ask you and you will tell the answer in blue.

- Remember that you will be able to use the dictionary online



SHOULD is not the only MODAL in English. There are other MODAL VERBS like the ones in the picture.



 3- THE PRESENT PERFECT.

Read the joke.



"I've had a headache for weeks" He tingut mal de cap durant setmanes.

"I've discovered the source of your problemHe descobert l'origen del problema


Són dos exemples  d'ús del Present Perfect. Tot i el nom, este temps verbal no és present sinó passat!!!! L'acció és acabada, el que no ha acabat és el marc temporal (hui, esta setmana, enguany, la meua vida....etc). És d'ací d'on li ve el nom de present.
